#is this just a slav thing?

[leona-florianova]

Way too many of my friends and family members lived through the traumatizing childhood event where they had a favorite pet rabbit or a chicken, n then they were served food made out of that pet...While asking the question "So, uhm, where did my pet x/y disappear to?"

#where did mr bunny go #grandpa points at the skinned rabbit skin gently swinging in the breeze #is this just a slav thing? #or just countriside thing in general #special countriside grandparents joke #aw you love that rabbit or chimkin #you will love it in a soup too

This whole Slavic Girl trend on TikTok is so problematic on so many different levels, and telling actual Slavic girls to take a chill pill and stop being pissed about it is ignorant at best. Slavic girls are pissed about it because it feeds into the stupid stereotypes and clichés we have been trying to get rid of for years.

No, Slavic girls don't look like rich Moscow girlies. No, not all Slavic girls have blonde hair and blue eyes — in fact, many Slavic nations are known for dark hair and eyes. No, not all Slavic girls speak Russian; not anymore.

Slavic does not equal Russian. Russia is just one nation among many, one that has been coercing other Slavic nations into forcefully accepting their lifestyle and culture for decades, sometimes even centuries.

If you want to show Slavic girls, look up the traditions and customs of each nation. Look up how diverse and varied Slavs truly are.

ok saw this fairly interesting job ad, required education and work experience are in my league and it seems like a nice company (no indication about salary rango tho so could be a huge hit or miss, really wish they would speed up with that law that would require salary info on job listings)

BUT I would have to submit the application by next week and GOOD LORD i would rather drink boiling oil than have to write a fucking CV

#also the ad says just to submit a 'biography' and i never know what format they are expecting exactly #like you want a CV or like a essay about me? #probably a normal CV in the most standard format ever but i always panic for things like this lol #eh im gonna do it #i don't have much to lose no? #diary of a gay slav

Story time: A few days ago I decided not to kill my dad with a bow and arrow and as a result I lost my arrow somewhere in the bushes on my neighbour's lawn (definitely not a clickbait, nope, not at all!)

Basically my family and I were relaxing at my parents' cabin in the woods and I got myself a spot to train archery. Everything was nice and cool and dandy on that hot summer day. But then my dad had to do something around my "shooting range" so I had to stop. Perfect time to drink some water, give my arms a very much needed break. Did I do that, though? No. Of course not.

Now listen, I have been training for around a month. I felt good, I felt confident, I felt amazing. Not confident enough to shoot at my dad though. So I turned the other way and targetted a tree.

I missed.

I said "o kurwa". Like any normal polish person would do when their possibly deadly projectile misses and goes above the fence and through the bushes.

Needless to say, nobody was having fun. I cried internally because that meant I had to go to complete strangers and tell them I lost my arrow at their property. But I was already an adult and couldn't show weakness in front of my family. I couldn't say "mom can you go with me to the neighbours' and ask if I could go and look for my arrow?". I had to face my shame for not being a Robin Hood after a month of shooting.

Well, in typical Polish fashion the neighbours had a tall fence that I could not get over and everything was locked. There was no doorbell but come on, who would have a doorbell when they're on vacation at a cabin in the woods? Oh woe is me I cry internally because 1. I am a drama queen. I cry and complain all the time. The latter is in my blood though, after all I am polish. The former... in my case: a figure of speech, really. And 2. the last thing I want is my family and other neighbours think less of me because of my fear of being berated for my shitty archery skills and overconfidence. I have a horrible social anxiety. And yet it did not stop me from somehow enjoying a job where I am working with big groups of people on a daily basis???? My brain is an enigma. Both to my therapist AND me.

ANYWAY FASTFORWARD TO FRIDAY, my parents happened to meet one of the neighbours during my absence and informed him that an arrow was lost but the guy did not invite them to look for it. I felt ashamed. I don't even know why because there really is no point in crying over spilled milk, but I did.

And today when I was shooting, a neighbour came up and found the arrow and gave it back, he laughed it off and told me not to worry after I apologised for the trouble.

To conclude: I did not kill my dad with an arrow, felt shame and fear over a lost arrow, the lost arrow was returned to me and I feel good again.

Also, I saw a woodpecker and a really pretty tricolor cat today.

#also my friend from the Netherlands asked me if cabin in the woods is a slavic thing because he knows two slavs in total (me and a somebody) #and we both happen to have a cabin in the woods #i mean.... i guess so considering how many cabins are here? like literally there are like 4 other cabins/lodges around my parents' cabin... #and my friend from warsaw has a summer house opposite of my actual house so i guess we poles like to have places to relax at in the summer #considering that question i was asked then i guess its just... #just slav things

thats why it hurts my brain too when ppl have intense ass arguments abt what race specific "hard to classify" groups are

the balkans are just one example of this bc weve been considered a bunch of shit throughout history and we exist in a weird position always but. there are So Many ethnic groups and regions of the world which are like this

and ppl will go on entire things with the upmost seriousness trying to "race" whatever ethnicity when its like....... dude do you not understand.... does the entire argument itself not make you see.... this is all made up and this conversation makes no damn sense bc there isnt actually any sort of biological basis that this shit is based on ,, ,,, race is Largely some bullshit made up for the sake of oppression and youre trying So Hard to shove ppl into it instead of understanding the complexities of the situation...why..... pls stop

#are somalis black or arab? god i wish we could just stop w this also as if there aren't afro arabs as if historically #what we call arabs arent one of the fitst ppls out of africa as if there arent dark skinned arabs w curly hair #as if there isnt MORE diversity between africans than there is with non africans 😭😭 bro black or even african isnt any race theyre the #oldest ppl on earth the amount of genetic variation is insaaaneee #does the endless conversation itself not show this is a social issue not a real biological issue ppl are being shoved into and shoving #themselves into???? #are balkan ppl white. are slavs white. #dude what the fuck is the white race. weve been considereded white recently were also not like???? #are the kuchi people of aghanistan and india white? asian? #this entire convo is stupid race isnt a thing they are people they are a nomadic ethnic group w a history #STOP #are indigenous americans asians or indigenous??? well they come from asians but again this convo goes in circles bc neither asian or native #american as a Race is an actual thing that Exists #Race is some bullshit made up for oppression and which largely still exists today for oppression Or in the best case scenario to #classify broad groups of ppl together based on looks #but its not a Real Thing with Real Definine Lines and Real Biology which there are Real Answers To

When back in 2016 i wrote about how much of an unreliable narrator Theodore decker is on PINTEREST of all places, like girl, i agree but just cut the slav and get a tumblr.

#the goldfinch #theodore decker #donna tartt #like the main thing that Boris represents to theo and why he holds onto him is boris just #is able to let things go and move on so easily while still remembering it and shit and theo is jealous #half of the goldfinch is probably made up in his fucked up little head and the funny part is that unlike Nabokov or something he doesn’t #even make himself look good in it #he’s just too broody #theo #i’m sorry your mom died #but get over yourself honey #you’re making it worse for everyone while reading the little diaries you kept while high as balls in the desert #i do wholeheartedly believe boris exists because i love him and i want him to exist #but it’s so funny to me #the west of my existence be like #literally tripping balls in the desert but disguised as a beautiful poem about western values and shit #anyway? goodnight #also #i have no idea what ‘cut the slav’ means but i like it and i’m using it #i’m minting it in my own good image to use in conversation along with its counterparts ‘cut the slab’ or ‘cut the slay’ #so has said my wife #now #very much #goodnight

The other tng 3.10 thought is just how much the Romulans are the CCCP in this ep

#romulans #tonic's unwanted star trek opinions #funny how they and the klingons and the cardassians all get to be soviets occasionally #personally i don't vibe with the cold war metaphors in trek #you know #as a slav #i don't find the US perspective to be particularly insightful #but that's a whole other thing #at least it's better than the undiscovered country which is just awful sorry

funniest aspect of the re-tooled canon introduced with ressie 7 is that wesker, who before RE5 was working towards resurrecting umbrella in his own image by ensuring the old corporation burns in the aftermath of raccoon city (even aiding the trials & the american government in covering up the military’s involvement by posing as a key anonymous witness with all the data he gathered from umbrella’s russian facility/the red queen) & while he might have found some slight success with tricell as they were at the forefront of the federation of pharmaceutical companies (& the BSAA’s major donor, the seeds of their corruption were planted pretty early), in the end the american government (who is essentially the central villain of the franchise & also the real world) had the last laugh when they reinstated umbrella as an anti-bioweapon PMC in ‘07, they succeed where wesker failed & i adore, & i do mean adore, that the final scene of RE7′s main storyline is a shot of a blue umbrella helicopter rescuing ethan & mia set to hopeful music as ethan muses on his future & his reunion with his wife .  ‘and these guys are here to clean up the mess.’ he says, followed up by two DLCs where we as chris & joe baker see just how much they’re failing at containing the spread of eveline’s mold eventually covering up the whole affair with aid from the BSAA .  it’s so deliciously ironic & speaks to the overarching political commentary of resident evil .  i want to learn more about this new umbrella corporation given their (understandable) absence from RE8 outside providing the hound wolf squad with equipment .
